(2:19 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Relax, I had to restart the systems
briefly in order to complete a system
wipe of that magnitude.

(2:20 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
You should know that, McCree.
Remember that time we had to wipe
the virus you accidentally sent me
before Angela found out and freaked.

(2:22 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

<< Genji Shimada
You said "ain't."

(2:23 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Who else do I know that says "ain't."

(2:24 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
point

(2:25 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Jesse, you've been MIA for five weeks.

(2:25 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
I thought it likely you were dead.

(2:25 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Or compromised.

(2:26 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
sorry partner but it was necessary 

(2:26 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I would never fake my own death thats
a real shitty thing to do 

(2:26 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
as long as my status remains MIA and
not Deceased I see no reason to reveal
my location to Overwatch 

(2:27 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
I'm not saying I wasn't thinking about it
myself, but why did you just leave? Other
than the original five, you've been a part 
of Overwatch the longest.

(2:27 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Nearly all your senior officers have either
been promoted or moved to other
organizations. Or they died.

(2:27 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
thats exactly why I left

(2:27 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
with Ana gone...

(2:28 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:28 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
we both know its gone tits up

(2:29 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
Jacks got the UNs uber buff arm up his ass
like some sort of demented puppet

(2:30 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
Blackwatch agents are disappearing left and
right

(2:30 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I dont know if its cause theyre taking a page
out of our book or if theyre scared of what
Talon can do

(2:31 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
or if they ARE Talon now

(2:31 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
most are probably dead

(2:31 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I know you didnt know Gerard for that long
but...

(2:32 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
god I dont know how to describe it but it just
felt like time to go

(2:33 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
You could have taken me with you.

(2:33 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
You should have.

(2:35 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I wanted to

(2:35 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
just like ol times right

(2:36 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
but it was too risky having two BW agents
vanish on the same mission

(2:37 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
I spent the last month thinking I let you
down.

(2:38 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
Genji

(2:38 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
When Reyes stopped looking after only
6 days I nearly resigned on the spot.

(2:40 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
The only thing that kept me from leaving
was the fear that my body wasn't my own.

(2:40 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
So as angry as I am at you right now,
thank you.

(2:40 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Although, I don't know how you
managed it.

(2:41 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I had some help

(2:41 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
McCree...

(2:42 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:43 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:43 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY MAKING ME WORRY.

(2:43 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:43 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I had her test it on herself first

(2:44 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
I trust her but Im not stupid or nothin

(2:45 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
sides she aint even know who its for

(2:45 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
told her I needed to get OW eyes off a computer

(2:46 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
...

(2:46 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
only person knows where you are is me I swear

(2:47 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
an the only people who know I aint dead are you
an Reyes

(2:48 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
So... you're saying... the only people who
know... are myself... and Agent_02.

(2:48 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Smart plan, Jesse.

(2:48 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:49 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:49 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

(2:49 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
but I trust him

(2:49 AM)
Jesse McCree >>

went AWOL

(2:50 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Let me guess, its under "Joel Marricone."

(2:51 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
You know Morrison is aware of that alias,
right.

(2:51 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
aw yeah smarty parts Im sure hes changed
it by now it was just so hed know who it was

(2:51 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
an since he aint come chasin after me I
assume he dont think its a bad idea

(2:52 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
McCree, I know you'd trust him with your
life, but if you blow my cover I will
personally make you regret it.

(2:52 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
yeah yeah 

(2:53 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
you should get some sleep before OW
starts sending people after ya

(2:53 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
closest base to your location is 
Watchpoint Sanya 

(2:53 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
youve got about 6 hours till they come lookin

(2:54 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Thank you, Jesse.

(3:00 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
I would recommend not contacting Reyes
unless absolutely necessary, and fielding
any calls from him.

(3:00 AM)
<< Genji Shimada
Majority of compromised agents have been
Blackwatch, he may be at the root of the
corruption.

(3:02 AM)
Jesse McCree >>
you watch your back too Genji

down shit.

(6:03 PM)
tall dark and VERY ANGRY >>
Shimada is a very important asset. I only
helped you out because I owed you that debt.
I can’t offer him the same protection, and
they’re looking for him.
